Marie Claire Magazine Features Country’s Female Bloggers
Grab the February 2007 issue of Marie Claire Philippines Edition. You will read the article written by Luz Rimban entitled “The Secret Lives of Pinay Bloggers“. I feel so vindicated . Finally , there is an article that I can show to puzzled family members that explains what blogging is or what my online business is all about. An ex sister-in-law once confided to me that certain family members think I do nothing but sit at the computer all day . How can one explain in simple terms that I earn a living online? Maybe the magazine article might help.
Other female bloggers featured are Connie (but of course) , Wysgal, Lori, Chuvaness and myself.
Looking at the photo taken during the second week of December…
I can’t believe it took one hour for the photo-shoot with makeup artist, stylist, writer, photographer, assistant to boot yet a small photo was selected. I guess they want their subjects to look good .
I nearly choked on the byline “….Their names may not ring bells to the person on the streets but they are celebrities in cyberspace”
Some minor corrections :
1. The Compassionate Friends Support group is not only for women. It’s for all family members (grandparents, husband, wife, siblings) who have lost a child of any age and cause of death.
2. The title of the award is “Best Website, Blogs Category, 9th Philippine Web Awards” NOT Best Blog. I think there is a difference.

Congrats!DOnt worry about what ur relatives r saying. Either ingit lang sila o di nila alam ng ginagawa mo.
@betty- More like they don’t know what the internet is about.
It’s always interesting (and sometimes, I admit, annoying) when people do not believe that it is possible to earn from blogging.
The next time someone makes a remark about sitting in front of the computer all day (which sometimes may imply that you are doing nothing), show the article. hehe
@AnP- that’s what I will do exactly. Show the magazine.
GEEKS RULE!!
@Jayvee- We rule!
yey!!!
more Marie Claire trivia…
… I was with (but didn’t meet – my gf did) the Marie Claire EIC, Myrza Sison at the Havaianas Walk. The proponents of that event are in the story about couples who work together.
